As high school level teachers, one of our strengths is our deep knowledge of the subjects we teach. One of the challenges of being a great teacher however is that students often have questions about very specific topics that we don't actually know that much about. This lack of knowledge can be the result of the fact that the topic was not covered in detall in previous coursework. This "knowledge model" page has two functions: The first is to collect questions that students might have about a given topic. The second function is to collect resources that address these questions and synthesize them into a concept map that would help any new teacher valid his or her students' questions in some way.
